Theoretical analysis of a correlation attack based on convolutional codes

Johansson, Thomas LU orcid and Jönsson, Fredrik LU (2002) In IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 48(8). p.2173-2181
Abstract
One general class of attacks on stream ciphers is correlation attacks. Most of previous results regarding performance of correlation attacks have been based entirely on simulations. In this paper, we use random coding bounds for convolutional codes to give a theoretical analysis of a previously proposed correlation attack based on convolutional codes. The results from the theoretical derivation are verified by simulations.
